Has to be Lasley as far as i'm concerned. He was available for the ball virtually every time, and covered every blade of grass.

A decent performance considering we haven't played any real football yet. Both Reynolds, and Lasley in particular were excellent. I don't think there was a blade of grass that Lasley didn't cover tonight. The official attendance was billed at just under 6,000, which isn't bad considering it's a pissy Thursday evening in July.

There is a roof and walls on the side now. And there will be rain.

No worries. I was in Motherwell yesterday, but i'll just pick one up on the way into Jack Daniels tonight.

If this game had to be rained off, what would be the procedure? Anyone know?

It would be a shame if we had a full house, a great crowd and a shitty, flooded pitch.

Aye, there's been a "big match" feeling around the ground the past few days, with decent sized queues at the ticket office and the like. Hopefully a sign that it's going to be a good season.

Nobody's buying this attitude of expecting nothing, Bliki

Any update on how the tickets are shifting? I'm looking to book one for the East Stand later on today.

I wish I could buy one of those sponsor-less shirts

Has there been any noise regarding any of the players he mentioned?

When is this available to buy from the shop? The day of the game and afterwards?

That's a shame, as it's always good to cash in on the early season optimism.

I wouldn't put much into the fact that around 4,000 tickets have been shifted thus far, as there will likely be a good amount of late buyers this week. We'll get a decent turnout I reckon, and a decent result. I'll go for 3-1.

Hopefully Brown can uncover a few hidden gems whilst on World Cup duty.

Yeah, I don't see the contract being an issue with Brown & Knox.

The answer is obviously no. I doubt anyone is going to lose any sleep over losing either Hateley or Coke. Don't get me wrong, both are good players, but they aren't players i'd rate as "must keep".

Nice one, cheers.

If you're planning on doing these next season, is there any chance you can do a downloadable version? Maybe something that can be accessed through Itunes or something?

This website is a decent little tool for seeing who is available for a free transfer this summer. It has most of the decent leagues in Europe, and some of the lower leagues too. Some of their valuations are a bit suspect though

It has to be claret & amber.

I saw the thread title and thought it was someone posting pictures of the new kit

I agree. Don't get me wrong, if we can afford the fee that Everton want, and his wage demands won't require a breaking of the bank, then i'd love to see him signed. However, if we can't afford him, we can't afford him.

Well said mate. There are more than a few people who could do with admitting they were wrong about Brown & Knox.
